Mexican + Spanish national here. I dropped out off college to do my YC startup. I'm aware TN visas require a degree, but as far as I can see that's not the case with O-1. Even if it's technically not a requirement, would you say this will significantly affect my O-1 chances?

Education is really irrelevant in the O-1 context (and also not required for a few TN occupations) except to the extent (meaning PhD) that it might signify something else (such as publications or original work) but one can publish and do original work without a degree.
